234574 ÷ 72 
Our goal is to divide 234574 by 72.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 23 / 72

On to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 234 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
234 divided by 72 is 3 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 216 from 234 and we're left with 18.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 185 / 72

Step 4:
If we divide 185 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 41.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 144 away from 185, we end up with 41.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 417 / 72

Step 5:
72 goes into 417 5 times with a remainder of 57.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 325.0
Deduct 360 from 417 and we're left with 57.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 57, then repeat: 574 / 72

Step 6:
72 goes into 574 7 times with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3257.0
Deduct 504 from 574 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 700 by 72, we get 9 and a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3257.9
Subtract 648 from 700 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 520 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3257.97
Deduct 504 from 520 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3257.972
Subtract 144 from 160 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 72 fits into 160 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3257.9722
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3257.9722 and a remainder of 0.00016.
